The squid patches page notes:
A malicious gopher server may return a response with very
long lines that cause a buffer overflow in Squid.
Workaround: Since gopher is very obscure these days, do
not allow Squid to any gopher servers. Use an ACL rule
like:
acl Gopher proto gopher
http_access deny Gopher
